Day 12...

After a lazy Sunday morning, we were brave and ventured out, grabbed a taxi and went to a large shopping mall called "USCE." It was a very upscale mall with lots of worldwide brands. We walked the mall and ended up on the third floor where lo, and behold, there was a McDonalds!We introduced Nole to McD's fries and KETCHUP! Grace, guess what? you will have to share....because he loved it!We thought that the mall concept was great in that all like stores were grouped together....sports stores, children's stores, etc.
